Questions about O by Cirque du Soleil

Do you have to stay at Bellagio to see O?

No. Tickets sell online, by phone and at MGM Resorts box offices³ to anyone.

Will I get wet?

Only in the first 3 rows, and not by design⁴: the performers don’t aim for you, but it happens.

What if I arrive late?

You wait for a pause: late arrivals go in when the artists’ safety permits², so 6.20pm is a better plan than 6.29pm.

Is O on at Christmas and New Year?

Yes. 24 and 25 December run at 6.30pm and 9pm from $155¹; on 31 December the shows move up to 4.30pm and 7pm.

Why is it called O?

From “eau”², French for water, said aloud. The pool holds 1.5 million gallons⁴.
